A SIX-YEAR-OLD boy was rushed to hospital in a critical condition on Thursday – after his parents left him on a freezing balcony in his pyjamas for 15 hours as punishment, prosecutors said.

The youngster’s mum and stepfather forced him to stay outside the flat in the Saint-Josse area of Brussels on Boxing Day from 5am to 8pm, because he helped himself to something to eat from the kitchen.
